Marshall, Nathanael

, a celebrated preacher at
the beginning of the last century, was of Emanuel college,
Cambridge, where he took his degree of D. D. in 1717.
He was lecturer at Aldermanbury church, and curate of
Kentish-town, in Jan. 1715, when, at the recommendation
of the princess of Wales, who was pleased with his manner of preaching, he was appointed one of the king’s
|
chaplains in 1717, he was rector of the united parishes of St.
Veclast and St. Mich;iel-le-Q.nerne, London and, in Feb.
1731, rector of St. Vedast, lecturer of St. Lawrence Jewry,
and St. Martin Ironmonger-lane, prebendary of Windsor,
and king’s chaplain. These dates and preferments are
collected from his title-pages. He died Feb. 4, 1729. His
principal publications are, “The genuine Works of St.
Cyprian,” 1717, folio; “A Defence of our Constitution in
Church and State,” &c. 1717, 8vo, (on which Dr. Sykes published some “Remarks;” and which was also replied to by Matt. Earbury in a tract added to his “Serious Admonition to Dr. Kennett.” Dr. Marshall’s “Sermons on several occasions” appeared in 1730, 3 vols. 8vo, to- which another was added in 1750. These were posthumous, and inscribed to queen Caroline by the author’s widow, who was left with eight children, the eldest of whom was preacher at St. John’s chapel, Bedford-row, which he opened Feb. 10, 1722. He died Aug. 23,. 173 1. Bishop
Clayton, in his “Letters to his Nephew,” recommends
Dr. Marshall’s Sermons, as preferable to Sherlock’s and
Atterbury’s for pathos, and for lively and warm applications. 1
